Better and Good Listener
Self-Evaluation
As a student in general, I have a strong work ethic and I am a very good listener, sometimes we make ourselves think that it is hard to practice the good skills we all have, but it really is not. We all have strengths and weaknesses, like I said before, one of my strengths is listening, that helps me succeed in my classes and it helps me get good grades. I am grateful I have it because, in each one of my classes, you have to be a good listener to understand what the teachers are trying to teach us. Some of my classes are Spanish, which is very easy for me, I am very good at reading and writing in Spanish; Chemistry, which I struggle a little bit in, but I put all my effort when doing my work and studying; World History, which is a really good class, I have to pay attention to the teacher’s lessons since if I do not listen it will be really difficult for me to understand and do my work; and well, English class, it is a challenging class but It has helped me improve myself on my reading skills, now I can analyze the book without getting frustrated, I really like this class because it shows my strong sides in school such as listening, vocabulary, reading and writing. English class mostly improves my reading and writing skills, one of my weaknesses in English is when it comes to pronouns, nouns, direct object, indirect object, and all of those rules, they kill me! I try my hardest to remember where to use them, but it gets really hard. Another weakness of mine, is presenting in front of people, it’s the hardest thing for me. It gets really hard, because I get shy, and I run out of words, I get really nervous and sometimes I do not know what to say, I feel like everybody’s staring at me and criticizing me if I mess up, but as I was before, I have gotten a lot better because I actually had to present in front of people this semester, which I think it has helped me a lot, I know it takes a long time but my goal is to improve them and get better at

    My Writing Improvements

    A weakness that I have improved on throughout the semester is organization of my writing. A lot of the times I would know what to say…but just not how to say it in my writing. When you specifically talked to me about articulating my ideas better through speaking versus in my writing, I began to change my writing into more of an outline format. I mostly realized that my organization changed when I was finished with the final research paper. As you are very well aware, I chose a very confusing topic. I felt like my writing was a little bit “all over the place” in the definition and cause and effect papers because I had little clue as to what I was talking about. I realized how much knowledge I needed of a topic itself in order to even come up with a proposition of the future of what may occur in that field. It wasn’t until I had started over on the research paper about three times when I finally decided on a thesis. When I finally chose something that I could clearly outline and argue, my paper had more of a natural flow to…

    I tend to think that I am a great listener. At an early age in elementary school, I learned the importance of not only expressing my feelings properly through using I messages (such as I feel sad because...) I learned how to also listen to what others say. Expressing ourselves is only a small part of communicating. Mr.COvey mentioned there are many different types of listening such as: ignoring, pretending, selective listening, attentive listening and empathic listening. I was always taught empathic listening over selective and attentive listening. I remember the guidance counselor coming into my classes in elementary and middle school to do listening exercises with the class. She wanted us to really understand there is a difference between listening and empathic listening.…

    Writers all have different strengths and weaknesses when it comes to their writings. They all have them but my weaknesses are my grammar, spelling, and my punctuation. First of I don’t really understand all of the rules of grammar, therefore I am not good at grammar in the first place. The thing that I know I can't do the most out of all three of these topics is my spelling. I am so bad at spelling and it can be very bad on my writings, my punctuation could use some work also. I either forget to use it or just don't know that I was supposed to. I feel like it is a good thing that I am taking this class because I need…

    Unfortunately, weaknesses are a challenge I do not cope with very well, especially in a scholastic setting. I was unaware of my writing weakness until English II displayed it in black and white. Furthermore, a considerable obstacle I found tough to overcome was confidence. Before turning in a test, a paper, or a project, I often underestimate myself in performing the task set before me. However, the results I receive constantly prove that I am capable of quality work. When my instructor assigned the first paper, I immediately began to focus all my efforts toward the assignment. After completing and submitting the paper, I patiently waited for the results. Not only did I earn a perfect score, I also received comments from my instructor stating how she admired…

    Well what I like about this class is that when ever I have a question you will answer me and when ever I don’t understand something you would try to explain it t me again .I know I would get frustrated but that’s because I have too much stress. What I didn’t like the class was when we learned about the F.O.I.L it confuse me at the end when you have to put all number and variable together. The other thing I didn’t like is some people in the class room are not going to say no names. What I enjoy learning was almost everything but I really enjoy learning was logarithms. I like because u don’t have to do a lot of steps and it really easy .Well I had trouble learning the functions at the begging but then I try and try until I got it . It took me almost a week to learn it. The thing that I could have done to improve my grade to all my work and to never say NO am not going to do it, and not to get mad when I can’t do something or when I have problem solving something . If I was the teacher I would teach the student the easy way on solving the problem. And I would not just give them work on the board I would go over it with them because if I give them the work the some of them not going to do it. And I would also change the room and how is set up. I thin I did well throughout this semester in this class because in my other class I have all C this the only class I have A in. I also enjoy being in this class because I get alone with almost every body. The topic in algebra 2 that we cover and I have a lot of trouble was absolute Value I do understand it but some time the negative sing just confuses me a lot. I really don’t like working with negative number because the are really confusing like when you have a negative and a positive together some time you have to change the sing when ever you get your answer or you have to add and get the sign from the bigger number all the stuff confuse me. This all I have to say MR.…

    When it comes to writing, I become seriously stressed. I will put off all writing as long as I can. I can become physically sick from the amount of destress that essays, journals, and letters cause me. Since I put these assignments off for so long, they usually end up sloppy and not proofread. Taking this class was in hopes of remedying that as well as helping me to become a better writer. While I have learned a few things about writing from this class, like narrative line and that commas need to go before connector words in order to connect independent clauses, I do not feel any better about writing. As I put these words into my word processor, I feel sick and have put this off for too long. My writing process has not become any less stressful.…

    Dq 8 Listening Skills

    After taking the survey on listening, I learned that I have a number of factors that make me a good listener, however, there are a couple areas that I could improve upon. My survey was composed of a few 5’s, mainly, 4’s, a 3 and a 2. With the areas that I rated myself a 5 in came from listening skills that I have actively tried to improve over the years. I learned from the survey that I could give more advice and learn to enjoy silence. This is going to take effort for me because I only really give advice if I am specifically asked to by the person in the conversation because unless asked I usually feel uncomfortable providing advice. Another area I will have to improve on is enjoying silence more, this will probably the most difficult…

Coming to the point of resources I got very strong backup from my parents, friends and my teachers. Another one of my strength is that I am a good listener, I listen to everyone’s idea in a group and come up with a final and most suitable idea.
